When possible I use a Cannon 5D. However, when I am restricted by travel, the G11 is a nice alternative.Feedback
The people of South Sudan have rich and fascinating cultures. Their ways of tribal life remained intact for thousands of years, but are now seriously threatened by political upheaval and tragic violence. We can only hope that the nation emerges from the darkness, and is able to preserve and build upon its amazing traditions.
